Remember politicians saying "Israel has the right, and the duty, to act in self defence " after Oct 7.

Well, lets see if the same people say that about Iran.

It is said that, it becoming multi front by now. However who like to add new front from time to time.

Violating neighboring country airspace, that just adding provocation to ongoing situation.

Yes, the double standards of the Atlanticist smoke blowers, who reserve the right to decide who is entitled to self-defense, knows no bounds.

Meanwhile the whole planet is asking Israel to stand down.

But the Western media won't tell you that.

Meanwhile the whole planet is asking Israel to stand down.

But the Western media won't tell you that.

Very few who really stand up, for example Nagasaki mayor this month by keep with his decision not to extend invitation to memorial ceremony.

When did anybody ever expect Iran to just stand down?

Look no further than the cruel massacre on October 7, 2023. Far from it, just the opposite is true.

-10 ( +5 / -15 )

Yes, Crowfood, look at the massacre the Israeli regime inflicted on its own people to see why, as the Arbeen commemoration is happening, Iran is telling the countries that chime, on command, Israel has the right to defend itself from those exercising their actual, Geneva Conventions based right to resist the regime that was murdering their children, kidnapping, often to inflict vile suffering on them, Gazans for decades, that the ONLY people who can ask Iran not to defend itself are the people suffering what those Imam Hussein sacrificed his life trying to free did, Palestinians.

And does anyone doubt that if Iran decides to mirror nothing more than the direct attack on Iran, and puts a munition into wherever Netanyahu, the political head of the JSIP terrorist organization, Crowfood and TaipeiIsChina won't scream that the 'outrageous nature' of the Iranian response started the ME war, expecting a 1984 editing of people's memories to be hailed as the absolute truth?

This is how it plays out.

Iran will fire a few dozen rockets, most will crash, some will be shot down. They will then proclaim they have "successfully retaliated against the Zionists".

The end.

-8 ( +4 / -12 )

Fighto...that's how the last event played out, true.

But that was an "attack " choreographed by the US , given advance warning and using really slow moving missiles/rockets that were easily intercepted.

It was "theatre "

This time, if it comes, will/may be different.

Hamas began this.

Iran is egging them on.

Israel will end this and justice will be served.

The only way to end this peacefully is for Hamas to release all hostages and make a complete and unconditional surrender.

I'm not going to hold my breath. Hamas and Iran is so full of hatred for the Jews that they would rather have their own women and children killed as human shields than surrender.

Israel will prevail. Might doesn't make right, but right makes might and Israel is in the right.

There was one aspect of Iran's previous pro forma response to an Israeli attack that has been disappeared down the same hole as the Israeli regime's militants firing from helicopters and tanks at the music festival, and the utter debunking of the claims that the 2013 Venezuelan was rigged, and that was the hypersonic rounds that hit the Israeli militants base that launched the attack on Iran. These rounds went right past everything the foreign backers of the Israeli regime had up, right past the civilian seat of power of the Israeli regime, right past the flight of short range 'iron dome' missiles that had an otherwise clear sky to deal with, and punched holes exactly where they had been intended to, a militant base on full alert, on the far side of JSIP controlled territory from Iran.

...Hamas and Iran is so full of hatred for the Jews that they would rather have their own women and children killed as human shields than surrender.

If you kill, maim, torture and starve people, it's only natural that they will tend to hate you. And when retaliation from Iran comes, we'll get to see just how many human shields the IDF has at its disposal.

""In a statement on Monday, the United States and its European allies urged Iran to de-escalate.""

And the REST of the world is urging Israel to stop the mass killings of children in Gaza and the assassinations of Palestinians and Iranians .

The declaration by France, Germany and Britain, which raised no objection to the international crimes of the Zionist regime, brazenly asks Iran to take no deterrent action against a regime which has violated its sovereignty and territorial integrity," he said in a statement.

So true! The hypocrisy on show is mind boggling but as long as the western media is 100% pro Zionist nothing will change! Imagine if Iran assassinated a foreign dignitary of British or European soil there would be no restraint in their reply!

4 ( +7 / -3 )

Iran has crossed the point of no return and rightly so, Iran has the right to retaliate if it chooses to.

All what Israel, Iran, and their backers can do now is pray for their God's that things don't escalate!!! and if they do which what Bibi has been hopping for then better buckle down bcz. the rest of the power players won't just sit and watch.

Israel are so insecure that they are jamming the the US GPS system, I do not know why Iranian use the US GPS satellite unless they are not sure of the Russian or Chinese,one these rockets are gonna get lucky and take out a passenger plane,lots of Carrier are stop flying into Ben Gurion ,the US can shut off Japan access by flipping a. switch,bring Japan to a stop

And while the “progressives” gush dileriously about Kamala, she signs off on multi-billion dollar arms deliveries to Israel.

Yeah right above.

Palestinians did not choose who their occupiers would be.

They are not "full of Jew hatred " therefore.

The creation of Israel saw Zionist armed groups fighting the British and seeking arrangements and agreements to support Nazi Germany, if Germany supplied arms. So , agreeing with Nazis who had been elected on a "Hate Jews " platform , if same Nazis provided weapons to fight the British in Mandated Palestine and create a "Jews Only " state. Not a good start for Israel.

Zionists kept documents on how they expelled the native population , what methods were used etc.

Many massacres ,infusion of fear of more being two of the techniques .

The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians started in 1948, even before, and continues today in Gaza.

Read some history.

Israel does have the right to defend itself and in the process carry out ethnic cleansing of Gaza..

But Iran does not have the right to defend itself after being attacked by the Zionist regime.

How much hypocrisy of the Western circUS...

-1 ( +4 / -5 )

What's wrong with the world? Wars, terrorist, diseases name it!! The list is endless

-2 ( +1 / -3 )

Funny how the west doesn't say anything when Israel does all the attacking.

-1 ( +3 / -4 )

Iran needs to retaliate. The assassination of the Hamas leader in their secured compound in city of Teheran is a humiliation they cannot ignore. Their people demand fitting revenge.

Unfortunately, the options are limited when it comes to retaliating. They must deliver a hard enough blow to Israel to declare victory, but at the same time avoid a counter attack by Israel.

Israel is a nation where if you hit me once, I will hit you twice. They believe in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth plus an adder.

How to hurt Israel ?

Anything to do with wealth and money restrictions would fit the bill.

0 ( +3 / -3 )

You cannot say anything to Israel... they are in their moral and divine right to do what they do.

Don't you know? since they are "people of god" and also they suffered the holocaust... those two thing give them free range to do whatever they want... even erradicating an entire population.

-1 ( +2 / -3 )

One thing you can't do is try reasoning with the devil. The only language he understands is simple "bring it on and don't forget to bring your A game"

And while the “progressives” gush dileriously about Kamala, she signs off on multi-billion dollar arms deliveries to Israel.

No responses. A very inconvenient truth.

The solution to the conflict between Israel and Iran, Arab countries is to adopt, incorporate, Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan:

Source: Gemini IA

Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan is one of the most well-known and debated articles in the world. It establishes a fundamental principle for the country: the renunciation of war as the sovereign right of the nation.

In summary, the article states:

Renunciation of war: Japan forever renounces the use of war as a means of settling international disputes.

Prohibition of armed forces: The country will not maintain armed forces, such as the army, navy, and air force.

Right to belligerence: The right of the State to belligerence will not be recognized.

The primary purpose of Article 9 is to ensure Japan's peace and security and contribute to world peace. It was inserted into the Constitution after World War II, as a way to prevent the country from becoming involved in armed conflicts in the future.

The passage of Article 9 was a historic milestone, as it transformed Japan from a militaristic nation into a pacifist country. However, the interpretation and application of this article have been the subject of debates and controversies over the years

US Marines credo ..."No Marine left behind "

IDF credo {Hannibal directive } "No soldier left alive "

What's going to be interesting is how many of the hostile countries so forcefully urging Iran to not respond to the unprovoked attack by JSIP are going to use their relationships and leverage with JSIP to prevent it from escalating.
